WHY SI? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO IT?
Why did SI have to put the Huskies on the front page. Living in a city who is dealing with the Super Bowl Losers curse, and the Madden Curse in THE SAME YEAR, here comes another one into our lives, THE SI CURSE. Now, it could be said that curses are what you make of it. Tell that to the Chicago Cubs, and the Boston Red Socks. Shit, tell that to any Seahawk fan right now. Alexander has been out since week 3 with a broken foot, Hasselbeck goes down with a knee injury, and won't be back for another week.
The best thing we had going for us was the Washington Huskies Basketball program. I mean, atleast Spencer Hawes and Justin Dentmon weren't on the cover. But, damn Brockman hurts. We can live if Appleby has a few stinkers after appearing on the cover, but if Brockman is off for a month after this, I am killing someone. The last Husky to be on the Cover of Sports Illustrated, Sonny Sixkiller, threw 4 interceptions and lost 17-6 to Stanford after a 4-0 start vaulted the Husky onto the front page.
The next time it sounds cool to be on the cover of SI, the Madden game, or LOSE THE SUPER BOWL, remember this: We live lives that depend heavily on the successes and failures of our local sports teams. When we believe we have a banner season approaching, it is a nightmare to hear a news report saying that Shaun Alexander will be the cover boy for Madden. I lost sleep for a week after that. Madden cover boy runner-up, LaDainian Tomlinson, is having a career season, and will most likely break Alexander's touchdown mark this year.
So, as I lose sleep for another week because of stupid Sports Illustrated putting my boy Jon Brockman on the cover, I look forward to Sunday's match-up against Sacramento State and to hoping for 25 and 10 from Brockman! Appleby, just hit two or three three-pointers please. It isn't like Sports Illustrated is that good of a magazine anyways....
Romar - If you ever go on the cover, I will never forgive you.
